The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, it's a pretty quiet scene out here at Yucca Bay. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a washout, if I'm being honest. The tell-tale sign is that every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. There's no real window to get excited about from the get-go. The wind is locked in from the east, blowing cross-onshore or cross-shore for the entire period, keeping things choppy and lumpy. It's a real bummer.
We start off on Tuesday the 4th of August with a 4 ft swell from the east, but it's short-period at 7 seconds and punching into a 19 mph easterly. The combined energy is weak to moderate (131). It's just messy. That pattern holds through the first week – anywhere from 3 ft to 5 ft of short-period east swell, with winds never dropping below 9 mph and usually up around 15-19 mph. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
As we push into the second week, the swell picks up a touch. By Saturday the 15th of August, we're seeing 5 ft to 6 ft on the Sunday, but again, it's all east windswell (periods of 8 seconds or less) with a constant cross-onshore breeze. The energy gets up to moderate levels (347 to 405), but with the wind ruining any chance of a clean face, it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The combo of a beach-and-reef setup with this much onshore wind just makes it a struggle.
There's simply no standout here. This is a blank run. The forecast is consistent, but consistently poor. For a spot like this, a stretch of these conditions is fairly normal. You'd be better off waiting for a change in the wind pattern. The only thing I can say is that forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Yucca Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Yucca Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Yucca Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Yucca Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Yucca Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Yucca Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Yucca Bay is 19 km (12 miles) from Puerto Plata. If you plan a holiday in Amber Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Puerto Plata. Puerto Plata has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
